Thank you to @mooninabucket for sharing my essay “We Fly in Planes” today, of all days.
Imagine September 11, 2001. Now imagine believing what happened was all your fault. This piece, “We Fly in Planes,” by my fellow @SoutheastReview alumn, @rachelwimer, is so gutting and beautiful and true. 😭 🙏 https://t.co/bXXX30MplT
